"Because it's been laying outside, you don't know where it's been it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?"

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.5 X5 v3 { l* K9 _4 j3 @9 S! }$ m- W
